We've talked about various proposals for Holland to acquire one or more cruiser-killers for the Dutch East Indies but has anyone considered the idea of Holland purchasing and modernizing, to some degree, some of the obsolete British or American armored cruisers after WWI?
Being antiques rendered obsolete by the first battlecruisers a decade before WWI it isn't likely London or DC will mind getting a little cash for them, quite the contrary, and it gives Holland a basis for two or three ships which can go head to head with anything short of pocket battleships.
